Layers
Of history,
Deeply extend

The sense
Of adventure,
On the road
To the end.

Blue dawns,
In a haze
Break brightened,
Bold days

Through a complex,
Light blaze
Of –
Crepuscular rays.

Scarred.
Collapsed from within
A shaken, cold skin
Stays silent –
As a connected
Tholin.

A shaped –
Snowcapped signature
Within a window, of time

Breaks an edge –
Snowswept perimeter
That defines, its decline.

The backlight, of memory
Within a crescent –
Silhouette

Reveals the simple, in transcendence
And makes the complex –
Perfect.

A cascading morphology
From impact,
To change

Reveals a syntax
Of energy
Redefining, its range.

within layers of haze
and back looking
shine

is a startling reminder
from of where
we divine.

Fresh dusty dunes
Secretly shine
When whispering information
Of ancient design.

Stale dusty details
Repeatedly refine
An awareness of sense
An exo-soul, redefined.
